Quick Product Summary

The Hayward HSXTV102 TracVac Buckle/Latch Kit is the replacement front latch used to secure the top cover on the Hayward TracVac suction-side pool cleaner. Hayward's TracVac owner’s manual shows the buckle at the front of the cleaner and explains that it releases the lid for internal access and locks the top cover back onto the cleaner chassis after service. This part is intended for TracVac owners and pool-service professionals replacing a worn, broken, damaged, or missing original latch. Confirm HSXTV102 against your cleaner's parts information before ordering.

Best For

• Hayward TracVac cleaner repairs
• Replacing a broken front buckle
• Replacing a latch that no longer closes correctly
• Restoring the top-cover locking mechanism
• TracVac preventative maintenance and rebuilds
• Service technicians matching parts by Hayward part number

Why This Matters

• The buckle locks the TracVac top cover onto the cleaner chassis
• A damaged latch can prevent the cover from being secured correctly
• Correct part-number matching helps prevent wrong-part orders
• Replacing the latch allows the original top-cover assembly to remain in service when otherwise usable
• HSXTV102 is specifically identified in the TracVac replacement-parts system
• Proper closure is important after accessing the turbine and internal cleaner components

Hayward's service instructions specifically direct the user to open the front buckle to remove the lid and to lock the top cover back onto the chassis with that buckle when reassembling the cleaner.

Common Signs You Need This / Use This When

• The original TracVac buckle is cracked or broken
• The latch is missing from the front of the cleaner
• The buckle will no longer lock the top cover securely
• The latch has visible wear or damage
• The top cover cannot be secured after cleaner maintenance
• Your TracVac parts diagram specifies HSXTV102

Product Specifications

The TracVac parts listing identifies HSXTV102 as the Buckle/Latch Kit and lists it for use with the TracVac cleaner. The distributor product record lists UPC 0610377421966.

Compatibility / Fitment Notes

Hayward HSXTV102 is for the Hayward TracVac suction-side pool cleaner. It should not be confused with latch, buckle, bag, or housing components used on Hayward TriVac pressure-side cleaners.

Hayward's TracVac owner's manual identifies the cleaner as model W3HSCTRACCU, and the associated replacement-parts schematic lists HSXTV102 as the Buckle/Latch Kit.

Confirm the TracVac cleaner model and HSXTV102 part number before ordering. Do not select this replacement based solely on the appearance of a latch from another Hayward cleaner family.

Installation / Use Notes

Turn off the pool pump before servicing the TracVac. Hayward instructs users to remove the cleaner from the pool before accessing internal components, open the buckle at the front of the cleaner to release the lid, and lock the top cover back onto the cleaner chassis with the front buckle during reassembly.

When replacing HSXTV102, confirm that the new latch is correctly positioned and that the top cover closes securely before returning the TracVac to service. Follow the Hayward TracVac owner's manual for cleaner servicing and maintenance.

Buy with Confidence

Benchmark Pool Supply helps customers identify pool-cleaner replacement parts using manufacturer part numbers, cleaner models, and practical equipment knowledge. This is especially important with Hayward cleaners because similar-looking components may belong to completely different cleaner platforms.

For Hayward HSXTV102, the correct application is the TracVac suction-side cleaner. Matching the TracVac model and part number before ordering helps reduce incorrect replacement-part purchases.
